• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Even though it's morning, I want to talk to you about a nighttime
• 0:34
  ritual that I have that I think is incredibly important and that
• 0:38
  is asking yourself what did I learn today?
• 0:41
  So we all understand the how important learning is to us as
• 0:46
  human beings and the more we learn, the more we actually are
• 0:50
  able to learn because we're constantly stretching our brain
• 0:53
  and we're constantly burning nor more neural Pathways and our
• 0:57
  neural plasticity just takes off and it becomes something.
• 1:00
  Oh, that's vital to our health and our mental well-being and
• 1:04
  feeling abundant, like we are growing and like, we are going
• 1:07
  in the right direction. But a big part of that process
• 1:11
  is acknowledging, the fact that we are actually learning
• 1:14
  something. So I have a ritual that I do
• 1:18
  every day and I sit down at the end of every day and I say to
• 1:23
  myself, what did I learn today? And it could be something as
• 1:25
  silly as. You know what, flowers?
• 1:28
  This was something that I learned earlier.
• 1:30
  What flowers grow well in the Heat and by understanding what
• 1:33
  flowers grow. Well in the heat, I'm going to
• 1:35
  have a better flower garden next year, but I couldn't do that
• 1:39
  without actually do taking the time to say, I've got to learn
• 1:42
  something. I'm going to push myself to
• 1:44
  learn something new every day, and that is a hard ritual that I
• 1:48
  go through. Meaning, there is no negotiable
• 1:53
  part of my day. That I say, I'm going to let go
• 1:55
  of and I'm not going to do this. I'm just going to let it go.
• 1:57
  Doesn't matter from on vacation, doesn't matter what I'm doing.
• 2:00
  That is, Question, I ask myself that is a question that I expect
• 2:03
  answers to Everyday and if I didn't learn something, I don't
• 2:06
  want to go to sleep until I learn something.
• 2:08
  So, I might pick up a book, I might grab it and read even just
• 2:11
  two pages. But every day, it's an absolute
• 2:14
  necessity to do that it can be even just looking at a recipe.
• 2:18
  Something that you know, I learned to do since I have all
• 2:21
  these chickens always looking for recipes that have a lot of
• 2:25
  eggs because I X here and one of the important things is to use
• 2:29
  them. I give them A to people all the
• 2:32
  time, I do not sell my eggs, as they are, just two gifts from my
• 2:35
  chickens and I like to give them to people.
• 2:36
  So one of the things I try to do is try to find as many recipes
• 2:41
  as I can for all the eggs and then get to use them.
• 2:44
  And to me that's fun, that's just, you know, turning things
• 2:48
  into something wonderful, making it something different and
• 2:51
  teaches me, something to how many things can I do with eggs?
• 2:55
  What's the recipe? I haven't tried before, all
• 2:58
  learning all things that put you.
• 3:00
  You on a growth path. And growing is so important
• 3:04
  learning things about others around you, learn something
• 3:07
  about other people, too. That is part of growth.
• 3:11
  It can be random subjects that you've never actually do Vin to
• 3:15
  before, but you wanted to, but you've resisted It, Go and dive
• 3:19
  in. Go see what it is.
• 3:20
  Do these things that set you up so that you can win and I
• 3:25
  promise you, you're going to see a massive difference in your
• 3:29
  mood just by Doing these little things like you have a win.
• 3:32
  It's kind of like that mentality that the military has about.
• 3:35
  Having you make your bed, when you make your bed every day, you
• 3:38
  always have a win. When will you learn something
• 3:40
  new? Even if it's a small as a
• 3:42
  recipe, I try to find out, chicken facts, all the time,
• 3:45
  small stupid chicken facts. Like, I just learned recently.
• 3:48
  The chickens can understand up to 80 words.
• 3:51
  Well, who knew that? But it was one stupid little
• 3:54
  thing that I Googled. And guess what?
• 3:56
  I learned something, so, I can say OK.
• 3:58
  I know what I learned new today, and there are other times when
• 4:00
  When I learn a lot in one day, if I'm reading a whole book and
• 4:04
  I sit down and I'm at the beach, and I read 17 chapters in the
• 4:07
  book that's going to give me a huge win all at once, because I
• 4:10
  just figured out a lot of information very quickly.
• 4:14
  So, again, it can be a variety of different ways that you do
• 4:18
  it, but putting yourself in that category and asking that
• 4:22
  question, what did I learn? Today will help break the
• 4:25
  patterns of being stuck where you are.
• 4:27
  It will help move you forward and make you feel better about
• 4:30
  Where you are and it's also going to give you a vast push in
• 4:35
  your just ability to be in a great state of mind because you
• 4:39
  feel like you're being a you know, on a growth path instead
• 4:43
  of being stuck where you are and anytime we're growing, we're
• 4:46
  feeling good anytime, we're moving in a direction that makes
• 4:48
  us feel empowered and, and vital and learning, we just feel
• 4:54
  better overall. So in a world where things don't
• 4:56
  always feel so great, this is something that you can control.
• 5:00
  Troll. Nobody else can control it for
• 5:02
  you. Only you can control it and the
• 5:04
  more you push to control it, the better off you are.
• 5:07
  So I'm going to encourage you to find a list of things sit down
• 5:11
  and say, what are the things I want to learn about?
• 5:12
  And it can be random, it can be, you know, going on.
• 5:16
  God knows, YouTube is just such a great place to just go.
• 5:19
  Look at random stuff that you want to learn, and you may never
• 5:21
  end up doing it. You may never end up doing any
• 5:24
  of this stuff that you watch, but guess what?
• 5:26
  It's so super cool. Just to know.
• 5:28
  Hey I have an idea of how to do that.
• 5:31
  And for me, I think that just having that little bit of extra
• 5:36
  every day in a place where you can be drained so quickly.
• 5:40
  This makes all the difference if you are with people and you can
• 5:44
  discuss things that are different, guess what?
• 5:47
  It's going to make you feel more interesting is going to make you
• 5:50
  feel more vital and More Alive. So go learn something new today.
• 5:55
  Go have a fabulous day and then captured at night and say, what
• 5:58
  did I learn today? And really We make an effort to
• 6:01
  do it every day and I promise you, it's going to make a big
• 6:03
  difference in your life. I hope you guys have a blessed
• 6:06
  day and learn a lot. See you tomorrow.
